Update: all the below was true if this was the AX11000 but didnt notice this was the AX11000 PRO which is slightly better, more info further down.

With the Asus AXE7800 out, this router kind of becomes useless, cause the AXE7800 out performs it in every category when it comes to actual real world wireless numbers. The faster CPU and extra ram really don't do much to provide real results. The only real benefit would be the additional antennas which would help with coverage but that's not worth the extra $50 to me and probably a lot of people. My recommendation wait for the AXE7800 to go on sale for $250 like its been doing every few weeks and get that instead.

Yeah, if you can't get 4x4 mimo anyways it's not really worth the extra money. 10Gb port probably isn't useful to most people either.

Man I completely missed that this is the PRO version, that means it has the UNI 4 frequencies so actually this will be very slightly better better than the AXE7800. Seeing this is the Pro this deal is now actually not that bad at all since the UNI 4 have a lot of the benefits of the Wifi 6E but less of the draw backs when it comes to range and interference.

10Gb external is not worth wild, but it will be worthwild for people who have NAS boxes cause the NAS box can utilize that connection for better streaming within network and in general a huge increase of performance with read and writes.

That all being this is actually very tempting at $300 slightly faster speeds and a few extra antennas for coverage but $50 more this is a close one, I guess in looks the PRO looks way cooler.

I am going to assume this is going to get a lot cheaper in the coming months, I will hold the line, but if this hits $250 this will be a instant buy for a future mesh.

I was thinking about this router but unfortunately it was not in stock at the time so had to go with the ax86u-pro instead.

Also make sure the TM-1900AC users don't see this as they are hardcore attached that thing.

Unless you live in apt with a lot of wifi6 signals, dual AC band is better than AC+AX.

Got one of these yesterday, and I know YMMV, but WOW - it made me a believer. Around 2x speed on wireless everywhere, and I had forgotten what I was missing in terms of admin options w/ Asus vs others.

I was trying a TP Link Deco XE75 mesh Wifi 6E 3 pack for the last couple of weeks. Fastest speedtest on wifi was around 290-300 down and 25-30 up with Gig internet from Spectrum or Tmobile 5g Home internet (I have both since Spectrum goes out so often & I work from home, running through a TP Link ER605 multiple WAN router). Before the Deco, I was using a Google wifi 4 pack and the speeds were even slower, so I thought the Deco would be an upgrade, but it wasn't much.

With this single router, coverage is the same or better than the Deco mesh in and around the outside of the house, but wifi speedtest speeds are closer to 675-720 down and 65-75 up on both Spectrum and Tmobile. It is Ginormous, heavy, and runs hot, but damn! House is around 2500 sq ft, 2 story, router in the middle of the second floor. Next I am going to test the dual WAN funtionality of the Asus to see if I can get rid of the TP link ER605.

I just did this for rt-ax86u pro, and my coupon said 12/31/23. I traded in an old docsis 3.0 modem.
